OK, |

I'll restate my original question. |

Has anyone used gentoo or the embedded gentoo tool chain to build from |
| 18 |
sources a linux kernel that runs on the brand new A9 chip? Is anyone |
| 19 |
working on the A9? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Does anyone have any plans to use gentoo to build a working |
| 22 |
A9 linux kernel? |

The A9 is not an Arm9 chip, it's the latest processor in the |
| 25 |
new line of Arm's multi processor line. Yes it has many similarities |
| 26 |
to the Arm 9 as alluded to above. There is also a single core |
| 27 |
version of the A9. |
